I used little cookies my daughter brought me back from Paris.. they were past date:( Edible Rose Buds..Silver Dragées..Chocolate Rocks.. and made 6 little gingerbread people for the 6 Little People in our lives..

I used rolled fondant to cover the roof.. rolled w/ an embossed fondant rolling pin.. and some picket fencing I had left from the outdoor Fairy Garden.

My friend Jojo gave me the sparkly tree last year as a hostess gift for Christmas..

And 2 little gingerbread trees were added..The shooting star is made from one of the cookie cutters that came w/ my book.

It's far from perfect..But I had fun..and I have to thank the little book for that..

There's a little bottle of wine at the door and a wreath to welcome guests~Snow everywhere.. and even glue I am ashamed to say.. So it's become a keepsake instead of a treat..

Very sweet! I love the little rocks.I make houses each year, once I made over fifty for all our friends, that of course I only did once, ha ha.....I must have been crazy or to young to know better!!!I like the sparkly tree, they are so cute and pair so ell with the house.I tried the doves again, this time they worked out!!!Hugs,Margaret B

It couldn't be more perfect! It's splendid and just magical! :) Nana, you're the greatest! The 6 lil people in your lives are really lucky! And thank you, tonight, my fairytale came true because of you :) I was just telling my daughter how I wished I could do a gingerbread house - a la Hansel and Gretel. But after chatting, we decided we should start on something less ambitious ;) And then I read your post! :) Have a magical day.

What a cute house!Too funny that you had to use glue :)I have plans to make an obnoxiously colourful one with the kiddos to bring over to your house for Christmas. It will surely look like a clown house compared to your lovely little fairy house ;)

What a beautiful tree! Isn't it fun to use things you already have on hand? I made my first gingerbread house this year and used only what was in my kitchen. I didn't have nearly the array that you have though!
